Our work
The Alicerce para o Futuro Program (Foundation for the Future) promotes social initiatives focused on Instituto Ampliar's three pillars of work: skills development, connection with opportunities and access to decent housing. The financial autonomy of socially vulnerable people is the central axis of our work, because we believe that, through it, citizens gain the conditions to take the lead in their own lives and follow the path best suited to their personal and professional interests.
Vocational training opportunities are offered in a variety of fields. In addition to technical knowledge, the courses include content that contributes to the development of socio-emotional skills — also known as soft skills — and of citizenship, encouraging reflection on the guarantee of rights, self-knowledge, building a life plan, diversity, inclusion and racial literacy.

After vocational training, concrete opportunities are offered for socially vulnerable people to enter the world of work, whether through employment or entrepreneurship. The goal is to ensure that beneficiaries have access to short-term alternatives to improve their income and achieve financial autonomy. At this stage, young people and adults can choose how to follow the Program's path of social initiatives, taking part in talks with market professionals on complementary topics, individual mentoring, workplace experiences — real experiences inside companies, guided by the managers of each area — and career and business fairs. They can also register their résumés on specialized job platforms or receive guidance on starting and managing small businesses.
To ensure full access to a dignified life, it is essential that socially vulnerable people have their rights guaranteed, including the right to housing. Housing conditions directly influence people's ability to remain in the world of work, which makes action in this area indispensable. The social initiatives offered include guidance on financial planning and household budgeting, access to information on financing for affordable housing, and community renovation drives aimed at repairing and improving beneficiaries' living conditions.
